Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la pom pon was the name that Werner Biewer originally gave them. Depending on what club you are affiliated with depends on what the name is. One club has done research on 100 Biewers and it has been concluded by genetists that the Biewers are not purebred yorkies, even thought the main "ingredient" is yorkie. Also the YTCA has made it clear that the Biewers will never be accepted into AKC with the word Yorkshire attached to their name. So this club has shortened the name to Biewer Terrier. They are purebred Biewer Terriers, not purebred Yorkshire Terriers. Because of this the breeding back to standard Yorkshires needs to quit. If the Biewers were purebred Yorkies then it would be okay to breed to a yorkie. We don't breed the Yorkies back to the Manchester Terriers (or any of the other breeds that developed it), So if we want the Biewers to be purebred, then we need to do the same. They need their own name for their own separate identity.
